Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich in Champions League: Alvaro Arbeloa hails ...
Getty Images The much-awaited week is finally here as the UEFA Champions League is finally back after the end of the international break and it will also bring some massive matches, first among them the one between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich that takes place at the Bernabeu in Madrid. The side coached by Alvaro Arbeloa is coming from a challenging weekend when they lost to Mallorca and now have a seven-point gap to league-leading Barcelona. Arbeloa spoke ahead of the game against Bayern Munich on some of the struggles that Kylian Mbappe has faced in recent weeks. "A lot of opinions might reach me, but the only thing that matters is what I think. Having a player like Mbappe in the team is an extraordinary privilege. I don't know if there's any coach in the world who wouldn't want him. I put myself in the shoes of the defenders who play against Real Madrid, having to face Mbappé, Vinicius, Valverde, or Bellingham, who are among the best players on the planet and have earned that recognition through their performances. It's a privilege as a coach to have them."

Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich Lineups, Injuries ... - Athlon Sports
Real Madrid host Bayern Munich at the Bernabéu for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals this week. Madrid enter the clash following a disappointing loss to RCD Mallorca, a result that leaves them seven points adrift of leaders Barcelona in the La Liga title race. A stoppage-time strike from Vedat Muriqi secured the points for Mallorca against Álvaro Arbeloa’s side. Despite their domestic setback, Los Blancos progressed to this stage after a dominant 5-1 aggregate win over Manchester City in the round of 16. However, they now face one of their toughest tests of the season against an in-form Bayern team that has been unbeaten since January. The visitors arrive in Madrid high on confidence after a dramatic weekend victory over SC Freiburg. Bayern currently sit top of the Bundesliga, holding a comfortable nine-point lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund. Even in the absence of Harry Kane, who sustained an injury during the international break, Vincent Kompany’s men staged a late comeback in their last outing, powered by a brace from Tom Bischof and a stoppage-time winner from Lennart Karl. MORE: How to Watch Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich Injuries and Expected Lineups Madrid are without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who sustained an injury during the second leg of their round-of-16 tie against Manchester City. Rodrygo is also ruled out, while Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos remain doubtful for the clash. Jude Bellingham could start on the bench as he recovers from a hamstring injury. Bayern Munich continue to monitor Harry Kane after he missed the victory over Freiburg, though the striker is expected to start following his return to team training on Monday. Should he be unavailable, either Nicolas Jackson or Serge Gnabry is expected to lead the line.
